It's time for the sale-a-bration blog hop. This month I have made a couple of cards. I was blog surfing on fellow team member Christine Blain's blog recently and found a tip that she read on Dawn Olchefske's blog. I love that the blossom bouquet triple layer punch co-ordinates with a FREE stamp in the fresh vintage stamp set from the sale-a-bration brochure. I've used the tip today on one of my cards. It's such a great idea isn't it?
I've also used the curly label punch to punch out the middle of a stamp from the "Elementary elegance" stamp set. Did you know that in all Stampin' Up! catalogues if there is an outlined image around a stamp it means it coordinates with a punch? Stampin' Up! make it so easy for us!

Side view of the curly label punched shape. See how I've popped it up using stampin' dimensionals to create a shadow box look.

Great cards, Ros. You've inspired me to blow the dust off my machine and use some stitching in my cards!
